european weather Extremes: DrIvers, Predictability and Impacts (EDIPI)

european weather Extremes: DrIvers, Predictability and Impacts (EDIPI) is an international consortium of universities, research centres and private companies aiming to further the holistic understanding of temperature, precipitation (incl. drought) and surface wind extremes over Europe. One of EDIPI’s key goals is to train a cohort of Weather Extreme Experts, who combine a physical understanding of high-impact weather extremes with a practical knowledge of predictability tools and an appreciation of user-relevant information required by the private sector. In order to achieve this goal, EDIPI offers 14 Ph. D. positions in 8 different countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Israel, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U. K.), with a start in September 2021. The project brings together nine beneficiaries spread across eight countries which will hire the students and 11 partner organizations spread across seven countries which will train and host the students for their research secondments. EDIPI is funded under the European Commission’s H2020-MSCA-ITN programme.
